Scorton tractor pull is back to thrill
Tractor Pulling, the world’s most powerful and exciting motor sport, returns to the region this May at Scorton Showground’s purpose-built track and, this year, it promises to be even more octane-filled and thrilling.
The event has been selected by the European Tractor Pulling Committee to host two special Alliance Eurocup classes for the most popular sections - the Light Modified and Prostock - with the best of the best of European Pulling teams competing for the top spot on the podium.
Combined with a full BTPA (British Tractor Pulling Association) Championship round, it places the relatively new event firmly in the sport’s version of the ‘Formula 1’ circuit.
More than 20 elite competitors from Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands will be ferrying their huge vehicles over to compete with Lancashire’s own home team and reigning Eurocup champion ‘Aftermath Unleashed’ to see if they can knock them off the top spot in 2026. These include ‘Helveg Rocket Science’ from the Netherlands and Germany’s ‘Green Monster’. Top tractor, Evil Dragonfire will be waving the British flag in the Prostock class.
Added to the track action, there is a fabulous truck show, a fairground for children, lots of food and drink, trade stands, beer tent and live DJ entertainment on the Saturday night.
The event takes place on Saturday May 9, noon until late, and Sunday May 10, 10am until 6pm, at Woodacre Lodge Farm, Hazelhead Lane, Scorton, Nr Preston, Lancashire PR3 1BN.
